Hello Friends!!



Today I filed two complaints with the NHTSA, that's the National Highway Traffic Safety Association.

By now, all of you should be familiar with Toyota's accelerator pedal sticking, right? Well, I lost two Camrys that I believe was due to this 'known' problem. The first Camry lost was a 1997 back in October of 2005. I did not file a complaint for that one because I did not think anything of it at the time and I did do research to see if there were any recalls. The second Camry lost was a 2004 and that accident occurred in March of 2009. Same scenario and I did become very suspicious at the time and again searched for recalls but found none. I did pull repair records from the local Toyota dealer for the insurance company because I kept insisting that there was nothing wrong with the brakes. It was later in 2009 that Toyota finally issued its recall but the car was long gone.



I still own Toyotas and frankly am a little leery about it. I did speak to a legal expert who stated that he lost his 1996 Camry in the same fashion I had lost my Camrys and there was not a recall issued for that year. So, I have to be skeptical about the 2005 Tundra and the 2009 Yaris I still own. And I am wondering if I will have to wait until something BAD happens before Toyota will step up to the plate and inspect the remaining 'unrecalled' vehicles....at least for safety's sake.



Hmmm.....your thoughts?
